Hands down the BEST airbrush tan in NYC!
Natalie is sooo accommodating and advises you on everything you need to do in order to have the tan last! She listens to what you want and is so patient with every question you may have.
The tan itself is so real looking... you leave with the most amazing glow.
I highly recommend Sundara to anyone that is looking for the best airbrush tan!!!!
Great airbrush tan!!!!! – Let me start off by saying that Sundara took very good care of me. I was so nervous about airbrush tanning to begin with, and I had so many questions. Natalie made me feel so comfortable and she used a color that matched me perfectly. I got so many compliments on how natural it looked, and my boyfriend loved it. I would definately do it again for a special occasion.
Very unprofessional. Rude staff. Natalie, specifically , (apparently , part-owner ) treated me terribly. The place is a dump . So many other wonderful air brush tanning businesses in Nyc . Don't go here.
great tan! – Im not a pro when it comes to airbrush tanning, but i have to say this was just very easy and the color was great! I read some reviews and while some i thought were ridiculous, it did raise some concern, I emailed Natalie to get some info and she got back to me right away. She made me feel completely comfortable during my experience and my color came out so natural, my friends couldnt believe it was'nt real. I will definately go back!
Very Unprofessional – I decided to try Sundara at the recommendation from a colleague at work. She suggested I send an email to the manager requesting an appointment, as that is how I'd most likely get a response, which I found weird because normally, I would just make a phone call, and also because I didn't think the tanning industry was really in a position to be selective, given the state of the ecomomy these days.
I emailed the manager asking for an appointment on Thursday, and 24 hours + later she came back saying she was booked. I replied asking about Wednesday, and she eventually came back and offered two time slots, 4:30 and 5pm. I responded that I would take the 5pm appointment, and also mentioned I'd never had a airbrush tan before, and asked what people generally wear for the airbrush. I didn't hear back from her.
Five or six days later it was time for my appointment and when I got there she told me I was not in the book. She started scrambling through emails on her mobile device and said, oh, I never confirmed with you. I reminded her of the back and forth I mentioned above, and she said, yes, you said 5pm and then you wrote this whole long email (I guess they don't like to inform new customers or answer any questions about their business) but I never sent you an email that said "All Set." and then she tried to show me an email on her blackberry to another customer. I told her that I know what an email that said "All Set" would look like, so she didn't have to show me, but what I didn't know, as a new customer, is that if she offers me a time slot and I accept, how that didn't make an appointment. She told me that the time slot I accepted was taken by the time I accepted (I'm sure this was either latency or lack of coordination on her side). I asked her if, in that case, she thought it would have been appropriate for her to respond and let me know that the appointment was no longer available. She didn't have much to say to that.
All in all, I cannot review the tan, but I would steer clear of this place if you value your own time, money, and have an appreciation for customer service and professionalism.
No more sun for me – I went to sundara to get spray tanned for my wedding. My goal was to not be dark, but not pasty in my gown. I am usually very pale and had an October wedding. I had the most natural glow. Aside from my very close friends, who know how pale I really am, nobody knew that I got a fake tan. Natalie was incredible. She has worked with many brides before and really helped me. I actually found out about Sundara from citysearch, and have been spreading the word to everyone I know.
GREAT TAN!! – This tanning salon, although it is not cheap i think it is worth it.
Leaves a great glow, if you moisturize, moisturize, moisturize!!!! it will last a good 10 days. The place itself is nicely decorated, clean and the technician is very professional and knows what she is doing!!!
Basking in the Glow of Sundara – I'm from the U.K. and recently visited New York, where I had a splendid time, thanks in part to this little gem of a tanning salon, which made me look breathtaking and a lot thinner. :) I researched the tanning places before my trip, booked an appointment at Sundara, and was very pleased with the results. I received lots of compliments. My color was absolutely right, and no issues with streaking or fading. The service was excellent and I also purchased the body butter, which smells delicious. highly recommended . . .
By far the best airbrush tan around – I had been to several airbrush tanning salons before finding Sundara, and I can confidently say that it is by far the best of any that I have been to. Natalie is truly amazing! She is an expert technician and makes clients feel at ease from the moment that they walk in the door. After a Sundara airbrush tan people always ask me where I went on vacation, and I find that I even look slimmer and more toned. Sundara is the best tanning salon in the city, and I cannot reccomend it enough!
OUTSTANDING! – Nathalie is the reason to make a visit! A total professional, warm and friendly, Nathalie goes above and beyond for her clients. The tan is amazing and natural, a look I just cannot get on my own bring incredibly fair skinned. I highly recommend Sundara, and Nathalie!!!

A maze and a maze.
A month or so ago, we headed to our local maize maze and tackled it with the whole family.
Since then I've been wanting to try a maze at home with Henry as well.
I painted a maze onto our driveway using the sidewalk chalk paint recipe.
This time, I left out the baking soda [no need for the fizz], and swapped flour for the cornstarch since I didn't have any on hand.
The sidewalk paint recipe we used:
- Flour
- Water [It doesn't take much, but make it thinner than you think you'll want it, it thickens up]
- Washable paint or food coloring for color
[My husband even happened to catch me painting it on camera.]
I first made the maze half the size and let Henry try it out. He made it through entirely too easy, so I doubled the size and had him try the maze again.
I thought about making it another maize maze with the corn we got from the farm, but thought it would be too hard to line up the kernels through the maze.
However, Henry still didn't have much trouble driving through the maze.
Only a few times he ran into a dead end and asked "But how do I get here?"
It only took some simple problem solving for him to answer his own question.
The maze still hasn't been washed off the driveway [it hasn't rained], so we may make it even bigger, or even try the kernels of corn.
What else can we do with our big maze?
Henry is 3 years old.

text: Josh Flint Archives Email Author Follow @Josh Flint Organic Segment Faces Huge Challenge: Economics Prairie Gleanings Unless your name is Steve Jobs, consumers dictate which products make it and which ones fizzle. Could this explain the organic movement? Published on: June 4, 2012 Tweet Post to Your Wall. Email Blog RSS Permalink Print Genius, revolutionary, innovative … no, I'm not describing myself. Rather, these are terms I'd use to describe Steve Jobs. Having read Tyler Cowen's An Economist Gets Lunch, I'm even more impressed at Jobs' accomplishments. Cowen points out numerous times that the customer drives a restaurant's menu as much as the chef. If a menu is filled with deep-fried offerings in the middle of a health-conscious community, demand will likely suffer. Either the menu changes, or the restaurant goes out of business. This same sort of phenomenon exists in the Chicago area. In the touristy downtown area, multiple Chicago-style pizza restaurants thrive within blocks of each other. Move to the suburbs and Chicago-style pizza is no longer a novelty. As a result, one very good Chicago-style pizza restaurant is enough for a much larger area. The sub-par offerings fall by the wayside. Now, back to Jobs. His ability to discern what the consumer wants/needs was absolutely amazing. I didn't think I needed a tablet. I had a laptop and smartphone. Steve Jobs thought I did. He was right. For years, I didn't think I needed a smartphone. Then, one day I drove 300 miles for a meeting that was cancelled via an email that came in while I was on the road. Again, Jobs was correct. Arch Deluxe, Pontiac Aztec, Windows Vista, Crystal Pepsi … the list of massive product failures is huge. Just Google "product failure" to check out some print and video advertisements from the biggest flops in history. Consumer demand also plays a huge role in the U.S. farm industry. With Whole Foods, farmers markets and the Food Network playing up the organic movement, one would naturally think organic food acres will soon outnumber conventional acres. I guess it could happen, but as of the last ag census, organic has a ways to go. With just 2.66 million acres of organic cropland, that's less than 1% of the overall harvested crop acres in the U.S. (309.6 million acres). Of course, organic food production could follow a Jobsesque pattern – put more in front of consumers and they'll gobble it up. But, I seriously doubt it. U.S. consumers continue to demand cost-effective, safe and delicious food. Over the weekend, I hosted a barbecue for about 15 guests. We bought a 5 ½-pound package of 80/20 ground beef from Sam's. It was delicious, nutritious, and, above all, cost effective at around $16. For more on Cowen's book, check out my June column in the Prairie Farmer.

For the sake of time and space, the question as stated above comes from someone who would discredit the Bible based on Matthew 16:28, Mark 9:1, and Luke 9:27 simply because we have no knowledge of 2,000 year old men walking the earth today. I certainly don't know of any. However, the people who usually ask this question begin to make all kinds of assumptions without any basis, and then wildly false conclusions based on those assumptions that eventually lead to holding Christianity responsible for every bad thing that ever happened on the face of the earth.
- Reposted from www.MenRising.com
It is not ignorance on their part, for ignorance can be rectified with a rational discussion. What they demonstrate is a "hands over ears and eyes closed" childish game of willful ignorance where they accept no answer, no matter how rational, and refuse to answer any intelligently posed question while asking multiple "gotcha" questions that have been answered time and time again. I quite imagine that they would hold their breath in an effort to turn blue if they thought it would help, but that would mean they couldn't whine so I guess that really isn't an option for them. Too bad.
Allow me to set up the question in rational form. OF the three verses, Matthew 16:28 gives the most detailed and specific information:
1. There are "some" - meaning at least two or more, maybe even three or more
2. "standing here" - present at the time the words were spoken
3. "which shall not taste of death" - will not die
4. "till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom." - the second coming of Christ
Lest anyone say that Jesus is talking about the Transfiguration, simply look at verse 27 which puts verse 28 into context and see if that holds true. Verse 27 is clearly talking about the second coming as it references rewarding every man according to his works. The Transfiguration also does not hold up to the 4th point. Jesus has not left yet, how can He return unless He leaves?
This website has an answer that also dismisses the Transfiguration: "Contradictions" however, I still disagree with even his answer because I simply believe verse 27 makes it clear that Jesus is talking about the second coming. So, the question remains: where are all the 2,000 year old men?
First, answer these questions:
1. Is there a precedent of anyone in the Bible who never died?
2. Is there a record of any of those people being present, identified, and viewed by anyone in the New Testament during the time of Jesus on earth?
3. Is there any record of anyone else after the Ascension of Christ who should have died because of present circumstances but did not at that moment die?
To answer question 1: Genesis 5:24 "And Enoch walked with God: and he was not; for God took him." lest you think that does not mean he did not die, the Bible again mentions Enoch in Hebrews 11:5 "By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God." Also we have II Kings 2:1 and 2:11 which mentions that Elijah was taken up into heaven by a whirlwind.
To answer question 2: Matthew 17:3 tells us of the actual sighting of Elijah in the New Testament alongside Moses. So, we know that Elijah was at least present in the New Testament.
Steve Yothment wrote me through email and also noted those same Scriptures, and gave the following answer: "I've heard that John Hagee has claimed that Elijah and Enoch are the Two Witnesses of the Book of Revelation. (Rev 11:3) As I recall, Tertullian, Irenaeus and Hippolytus also thought that Elijah and Enoch are the Two Witnesses. Anyway, is it Elijah and Enoch who were standing there when Jesus spoke "There be some standing here who shall not taste of death . . ."? - Steve Yothment"
To be honest, it is not the answer I had in mind, but I can find nothing wrong with his answer. It is entirely possible that they could have both been present because Christ never names anyone. We also know that they did not die and were both taken to heaven, but that Elijah at the very least made an appearance in front of the disciples. It also answers the question, "Where are all the 2,000 year old men?" in that we know both Enoch and Elijah were taken to heaven.
As we have no record of who Christ was talking about, we also have no record of anyone else being taken to heaven. The bigger question is question 3: "Is there any record of anyone else after the Ascension of Christ who should have died because of present circumstances but did not at that moment die?"
In the book of Acts, Paul was tasked by God with the specific duty of testifying in Rome (Acts 23:11) and in the very next verses, we see more than 40 Jews taking a death oath saying they will neither eat nor drink until Paul is dead. Verse 14 makes it clear they were not speaking generally, but were perfectly clear to either die by not drinking or eating, or see Paul killed. Yet, we know Paul escapes out of their murderous intent - no word on whether or not they kept to their oath. Next, Paul is set on a voyage that seems as though it will kill everyone, but God reaffirms Paul's mission to Rome and that all will be spared in the ship (Acts 27:24). However, just in case anyone doubts that Paul should have died in either the acts of men or the acts of nature, there is the last act of the snake which bites Paul, an obviously venomous snake such of the kind that the men who witnessed it fully expected to see Paul fall dead. (Acts 28: 3-6) Yet, Paul does not die. Why? Because his life has a mission to fulfill.
That there would be "some standing here" when Christ spoke those words meant that there were some being given a special mission, who would not taste of death, until the second coming of Christ. I cannot say that at least two of them were not Enoch and Elijah, we simply do not know from the text. However, we do know that Enoch and Elijah were taken to heaven, and there we have one of two possible answers.
There is nothing in the passage that says the people standing there who would not taste of death would be walking the earth for the next 2,000 years, yet on the other hand, we have evidence that if that is exactly what Christ meant, then there is nothing that would stop it from happening. Next week, I will delve into one other person (not Enoch or Elijah) who was standing there who may have been one of the people Christ was talking to directly. I'll give you a hint: he was also given a very specific mission just like Paul.
Now, let the petty ramblings of the willful ignorance of the atheists with an agenda come forth!! For everyone else, if you have a sincere question, please email me at email@example.com and I may feature your question in a future article.
I want to start by saying this: Just because YOU don't understand the Bible doesn't make the Bible wrong or God a liar. For some reason, atheists in particular, are drawn to the parts of the Bible they do not understand, and then finger-point like little children while whining away. What is worse, if YOU personally cannot give them an answer, then they conclude that THEY are right and YOU are wrong.
How ignorant and childish.
Just because you cannot give an answer to someone on any topic doesn't make your statement false. I can say with confidence that the speed of light is 186,000 miles per second, but if someone asks me to prove it I'm going to have to shrug. If they ask me how I know it is true, I'm going to have to point to a book somewhere. If they further challenge me to prove the book I didn't write true, I'm going to have to say "Go to the author." Atheists, however, do not want to go to the Author of the Bible, because they do not believe in God. So instead, they want you to speak for God, and are ready to pounce on you if you can't. "See! You can't prove it! It must not be true!" So, God is a liar because I cannot prove the Bible true?? Wow.
Well, the speed of light is still 186,000 miles per second, and it's not up to me to prove anything. So it is with questions about the Bible I may not fully understand. That we both, atheists and Christians alike, may not fully understand a particular passage of Scripture does not instantly make God a liar, or the Bible untrue, nor do I have to prove anything.
That said, Christians should feel free to stiff-arm the questions they do not understand for a while and say "Let me do some research on that and get back with you." Truth is, there is nothing to fear from such childish finger-pointing, and if you will put just a little time into some Bible study, looking at the context of the passage in its proper place and time, and really seek to gain a real understanding, then I believe you can have an answer.
Here is one particular passage that, for no good reason, has confused many. Again, atheists will finger-point like little children and ignore the vast majority of Scripture in an effort to hold YOU responsible for a Book you didn't write. I will simply let the question stand as written first and then give answer next week.
"Matthew 16:28, "Verily I say unto you, There be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom."
Mark 9:1, "And he said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That there be some of them that stand here, which shall not taste of death, till they have seen the kingdom of God come with power."
Luke 9:27, "But I tell you of a truth, there be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the kingdom of God."
Some means more than one. Jesus has not returned with all of his powers. Where are these men who were alive then and are still alive? Truth or lie: There are 2,000 year old men still wondering the earth who personally met Jesus."
See how the question is worded? He wants to draw an exact line with the words "truth or lie" and later he personally challenges me to give answer "Where are these 2,000 year old men?" as though I had them hidden somewhere in some secret undisclosed location or something. It's funny really, because the Bible answers this exact question.
I told him on February 21, 2012 that I would answer his question next week, and so I will. Meanwhile, until next week arrives, I wanted to allow this question to go to all of you out there.
The words were spoken by Christ. Christ has not yet come in His kingdom. There were some present when Jesus spoke that were not going to taste of death until such an event took place. The Bible is true. Jesus did not lie, and you CAN find the answer in the Bible. Well? What do you think?
As I told my atheist friend, I will answer this question next week, but for the next seven days, why don't you think this over, study it out, and see what you find. I'll give you a small hint: he didn't ask "Where is the 6,000 year old Christian?" or "Where is the 3,000 year old Christian?" but he could have.

Something about screaming always sets my nerves on a knife edge. A number of weeks ago, I wanted to take my two daughters out for some ice cream. So, we piled into the car and took off, and it was a nice ride just listening to my two daughters talk to each other, talk about different topics on little girls minds, and I especially enjoy listening to my youngest who always seems to carry a song in her heart when she is happy. So it was not a little disconcerting when, as I was getting out of the car, I began to hear one of my two daughters scream from the other side of the car as though mortally wounded.
My first reaction was to figure out who was hurt, and then identify, attack, and shred to pieces whatever was doing the hurting. I raced around the edge of the car as my oldest just looked on with wide eyes at her little sister who was still in the car screaming at the top of her little lungs with eyes closed. The door was not open so I assumed she had somehow caught her hand in the door. I jerked the door open, but that wasn't the case, and she was still screaming while I began to feel more desperate.
I screamed her name asking what was wrong, and she pointed at . . . nothing. I couldn't see anything in the direction of where she was pointing. She then got out the word "spider" and my eyes finally narrowed in on a spider so small it could have been mistaken for a grain of sand dangling from the car ceiling 6 to 8 inches in front of her face. However, to a little girl with an overabundance of fear, a spider dangling from the ceiling of the car within 6 or 8 inches of her face probably looked terrifyingly huge, and she obviously felt obliged to feel terrified because of it.
I, being the hero I am, promptly smashed the spider between my two hands, but my daughter was still screaming. I finally had to grab her by the shoulders and yell her name telling her I killed it and it was gone before she even began to calm down. As I got her out of the car, she latched onto me in a tight embrace still sniffling. As I carried her into the restaurant to get ice cream, I could feel her small frame still trembling with fear. Or was it me trembling from the adrenaline rush? I guess it was hard to tell.
All I know is, that as a parent of the male variety, the sound of my daughter screaming in what I interpreted as great pain flipped my switch, and I was ready for war. Finding out that, in fact, no one had been hurt, and the source of all the mayhem was a tiny little creature actually had me feeling more sorry for the creature whose life had to be sacrificed so my daughter would regain her sanity. I began thinking, how could such a small thing bring so much turmoil to what was a perfectly good day, and upset my daughter so much that she could not function in any other way than sheer panic?
As we sat down for ice cream, I called my wife telling her what happened, and she told me that I just had to be understanding, that the fears my daughter has toward spiders is very real to her, and that she just needs to be comforted. I have to admit the "ready for war" mentality seems to come way more naturally to me than the comforting part of me, so the little reminder didn't hurt. I let my daughter talk with her mom, and then we all, eventually, began to laugh a little about what happened.
I was reminded in those moments by the last few words in Hebrews 13:5 that say, "I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee." Too often, I think, we leave God in much the same position that I was left in regarding our own fears about what happens in this vapor we call life. Being too easily upset about things, fear arrests our lives and we become incapacitated, unable to think about anything else other than whatever worry, doubt, or fear consumes us at that moment. God tries to remind us He is there and we have nothing to fear, but confronted with our own fears face-to-face, we leave God the task of swiping away the small things, and trying to comfort an irrational state of mind.
Whenever fear tries to take hold in my life in some fashion, I remind myself of what someone once told me: "Life is an incurable disease, and we will all die from it some day." He was joking, but the point is still true. We will leave this world and everything in it behind one day, so why fear losing these things when the outcome is inevitable? When it all seems to be falling apart and you feel like you are losing everything, try to remember what is really important; that there is an eternity to be had, and the only "things" you can take with you are the people you have shared the Gospel of Christ with who have accepted the salvation of Jesus Christ. When it is all said and done, then one day you will see the only ones who had anything to fear are those who rejected Jesus Christ, while you had nothing to fear.
Long ago I heard couples talking about a book called "The Five Love Languages" and just about the time I heard the title my brain turned off and started wandering to other topics I keep stored in my brain's hard-drive for when "boring" conversations like this come up. I wasn't interested. Why? Well, to put it simply, the book had "love" in the title. I wish I could be more pragmatic, but that's it. I made up all kinds of assumptions just from the title, and I had come up with a vision of a book that contained all kinds of "mushy stuff" about relationships that basically women wanted men to know, but no man was ever going to read. Why? Well, it seems men don't read such books.
Fast forward to a conversation with a guy I had regarding his personal life with Christ, and I began to think of a few books that influenced me and he said simply, "John, I just don't read books." I hesitated, and then shrugged my shoulders. What else was there to say? When I talked about this phenomenon with another friend, he had a different response. When I told him about the guy who just doesn't read books he responded, "Really? Ya' think? The guy is having all kinds of problems in his Christian and personal life and then you found out he doesn't read books? Is it any surprise?"
It got me to thinking. There are a lot of guys out there who do read books, but there are also a lot of guys out there who proudly assert that "They don't read books" as though it were something to be proud of. I'm not saying a guy needs to get into "the mushy stuff" women enjoy in fiction, but there do happen to be some very good books worth a read. I am reminded by the oft repeated quote of "Charles Tremendous Jones" that says, "Five years from now you'll be the same person you are today except for the books you read and the people you meet." Years later, this quote was paraphrased to say "A man is never changed but by the books he reads and the people he meets."
Men don't want to change though. They resist being changed. I have never met a man yet who said, "I married her because I just knew she was going to change me into a better man." I fact, if that had been part of the marriage bargain up front, most men would probably never follow through with getting married. I say this in jest, but in some part of men there resides an idea that if we are good enough to marry the way we are now, then we should be good enough the way we are for the rest of our lives. However, that simply is never true, for everything changes in life, and men need to be able to change and grow and improve over time or risk becoming either irrelevant, or replaced.
Getting back to my original topic though, I eventually was encouraged strongly by a good friend to pick up and read "The Five Love Languages" with my wife. I was hesitant, but told him I would. I was just sure the book was going to talk about all the "mushy stuff" women love, and that the message would be something along the lines of "You're doing it all wrong. Idiot." I am happy to report that nothing could have been further from the truth.
In the end, there was a lot to be gained from reading this book together with my wife. We learned a lot about each other, I discovered some very interesting and encouraging things about myself (turns out I was doing a lot of things right already!), and also discovered ways to do the right things even better. My wife learned along the way as well, we were both helped through the process, and our marriage took another bump up on the ladder of success.
This would not have been possible if my manly ego had not been laid aside long enough to pick up the book, but it had me thinking about all the men out there who may be thinking, or even proudly saying, "I don't read books." This message is for you: "If you're not reading good books, then you're doing it all wrong. Idiot." Now go set your manly ego and pride aside long enough to realize you need to change as all things change in life, and the best way to make a change is to guide that change by reading good books and opening yourself up to being influenced by good people. Why? Because real men read good books!
It always seems to happen eventually. It finally happened for Keith, a friend of mine, and the results could have been devastating but turned more to the comical. Keith is a relatively new Christian. He's been saved for some time but just now really coming into his own as far as his walk with Christ. Years ago, while talking with him one day outside my house, we were interrupted rather rudely by someone demanding that we both hand over our money.
I knew the guy as a neighbor in the area, but Keith had no idea what was going on. "Friend of yours?" Keith asked nervously looking at me. I smiled and said, "I'll handle this." I just looked at the guy and said nothing. I'd heard this before, and I'd hear it again, but this was a first for Keith, so I wanted him to hear it all. You see, my neighbor is a devout atheist, and as much as I enjoy speaking about my faith in God, he enjoys mocking it whenever he gets the chance. As he gets no-where with me personally, he often inserts himself into conversations when I am in public and talking with others. Kinda rude and annoying, but I figure its a free country, and Keith needs to hear this.
My atheist neighbor, let's call him Joe-Bob, proceeded to quote the Bible where it says, "Give to every man that asketh of thee; and of him that taketh away thy goods ask them not again." - Luke 6:30. Joe-Bob began to make all kinds of outrageous demands as well as asking for our wallets, keys to our cars, and everything we own. "If you're really a Christian, Jesus commands you to do these things in the Bible." I stopped him right there. I've tried talking with Joe-Bob before, but he's of the mind that no explanation is ever good enough, so I didn't even bother.
I called him by name and said, "If you want to take my wallet and money and everything I own, you are welcome to try, but know that I am going to be dialing 9-1-1 in the next 10 seconds telling them that someone is trying to rob me." That's when Joe-Bob went on a rant, saying how he knew it, we weren't really Christians, and that we were all (all two of us?) a bunch of hypocrites and on and on until I finally said, "5" and then "4" as I pulled out my cell phone and was actually going to dial 9-1-1 so he could yell into the microphone. He just started walking away after that waving his hands and muttering things I could not really understand.
Keith looks at me, "What was all that about?" I went straight to the point. "What do you think of what he said?" Keith doubted such words were even in the Bible, but I took him inside, opened a Bible, and there they were. Keith was rather speechless, as I imagine most Christians are when confronted by such lunacy. Let me pose the question to you now. How would you have explained what happened to Keith and the verse in the Bible?
Too often, we are tempted to simply dismiss the charges made by atheists without ever seeking the truth from God's Word because we are afraid the truth might be something we don't like. However, if we understand a few things about God up front, we need not fear. God is not the God of confusion or lunacy. If we are God's children, then we assume first of all that God's heart toward us is good. Second, from that perspective, when we hear or see something about God that doesn't sit quite right, then either our perceptions on the situation are incorrect, or our interpretations of events are incorrect. In the end, a righteous God does not sin, so we must try to align ourselves with God first.
I talked with Keith about the circumstances surrounding the passage when Christ uttered those words. Jesus was speaking to many groups and factions (Pharisees, Zealots to name two) of the Jews in the open air, in their land, during a time of Roman occupation. Rome was the law, and the Jews of that period were an occupied people under invasive Roman government control. Whatever the Romans wanted, they took, and for their part, the Jews saw the Romans as the enemy. Take a look at the middle-east today to see how well that culture tolerates any kind of occupying force!
To keep things simple, in Christ's directives in Luke 6: 27-36, Jesus starts out with "Love your enemies." Jesus was wise and would never have said anything publicly against the Roman government, but here the Jews would have translated "enemies" as "Romans". As Jesus goes on, you can imagine how well the Jews would have received the message (not so well and somewhat begrudgingly if you ask me) but the principle Jesus was preaching was this - do not escalate a bad situation. In those verses, Jesus gave some very precise examples as a guide to do just that.
Jesus does not specify Romans as enemies, but the context of the situation provides clarity of purpose and intent to His words. When you understand "Romans" as "enemies" and the situation of the Jews, the passage makes perfect sense. Still, there is a principle here that we can also learn from regarding our own enemies - do not escalate a bad situation! Does that mean that we should roll over and allow someone like Joe-Bob to rob us? Just think about it, and simple logic will tell us "Of course not!" However, if Joe-Bob was a Roman and I a Jew in Israel during that time period, I could not call 9-1-1 for help, and in fact, any response at all would just make an already bad situation even worse.
The principle of non-escalation of a bad situation does not mean Christians should not defend themselves within the scope of the law. As we live in a completely different society and world today, Joe-Bob is going to have to keep his hands off my property if he wants to stay out of jail, and you, my fellow warrior-poet in Christ, are free to respond to any assault within the limits of the law.

SC's Lattimore Says He's "100 Percent"
October 28th, 2010 10:25 AM║ Posted By: John Pennington ║ Permalink
║ Schools: South Carolina, Tennessee
Tags: Alshon Jeffery, Last Saturday, Lattimore Carolina, South Carolina
The straw that stirs the drink is ready to start stirring again.
South Carolina offensive MVP Marcus Lattimore is likely to be back in action Saturday against Tennessee. The Cocks' top tailback says that his ankle sprain is behind him at this point.
"I feel really good. I feel 100% now."
That's great news for a Carolina team that saw its scoring punch dry up with Lattimore out of the line-up. The Gamecocks held a 28-10 lead at Kentucky when their star freshman tailback left that game two weeks ago. The Wildcats came back to win the game 31-28. Last Saturday — as they coaches rested Lattimore — Carolina won an ugly game over Vanderbilt 21-7.
As Travis Haney of The Charleston Post & Courier pointed out yesterday, with Lattimore back, play-calling probably won't be a big topic of discussion in Columbia after Saturday's game.
Expect USC's play selection to look something like this:
Lattimore right.
Lattimore left.
Lattimore up the middle.
Alshon Jeffery occasionally deep.

Demi Lovato is back to blond!
The "Heart Attack" singer showed off dramatically lighter locks in Washington D.C. on Tuesday as she picked up an advocacy award from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration for her work with bipolar and substance abuse advocacy.
Despite her big award, all anyone wanted to talk about was her hair!
This isn't the first time Lovato has switched up her color: She's donned pretty much every color of the rainbow over the past year, including a stint with blond a few months ago.
With all that hair dye, you'd think her hair is about to fall out, but the popstar insists it's actually very healthy.
"I have no idea [how it stays healthy]," she told omg! last year. "My hair is really soft and really long right now and I just went even blonder, so I have no clue!"
We love the look, but we have a feeling it'll be a different color by the end of the week.
Lovato isn't the only celeb to trying out a lighter shade. Check out the other stars who've been messing with their tresses.
Anne Hathaway
Oscar winner Anne Hathaway was the talk of the 2013 Met Gala with her shocking platinum blond 'do. The actress - known for her dark strands - channeled a "Pretty Woman"-era Julia Roberts with her short blond style, though that wasn't her inspiration for the look.
"I don't know that you could tell it by looking at me, but Debbie Harry was (my inspiration)," she told Vogue.com on the red carpet.
Celebrity stylist Sascha Breuer shared his process for styling Hathaway's hair before the big event.
"We kept the style much shorter for Anne and had a lot of fun playing around with it," he told HollywoodLife.com. "We decided to take her hair to the next level - a new cool platinum blond color and the sharp slightly boyish finish with loads of texture were the perfect match."
Word on the street is that she plans to dye her hair back to it's natural color ASAP. Here's hoping she holds out for a bit longer.
Drew Barrymore
New mom Drew Barrymore showed off a lighter look at the end of April. According to reports, the actress spent five hours in the salon to get the look for her upcoming movie "The Blended," co-starring Adam Sandler.
The actress has had blond hair on and off over the years, so maybe she's just bringing back a bit of nostalgia from her younger days?
"Everyone is saying that the '90s are coming back, which is fine with me," she told MSN.

Canada beat France 1-0 in Thursday's bronze-medal match, winning on a goal scored in injury time by Diana Matheson.
Julien has 48 international appearances with Canada since joining the team in February 2009. She was a starter on Canada's gold-medal team in last fall's Pan American Games and played for Canada in the 2011 World Cup in Germany.
She was designated as an alternate just prior to the beginning of the games in London.
Julien, a former JMU All-America, was the 2008 Colonial Athletic Association Player of the Year. She completed her collegiate career ranked second on JMU's career goals list (44), second on the career points list (102) and tied 18th on the career assist list (14). Julien scored a JMU-record 19 career game-winning goals.

The original version of this story got the name of Netflix' new service wrong. It's called Open Connect.
The online video service is planning its first US price hike since 2011 -- the year it lost thousands of subscribers after a failed attempt to split its DVD rental and on-demand services.
Netflix is the first company to publicly oppose the giant merger between Comcast and Time Warner Cable. That's largely a function of having the most to gain -- and least to lose -- from blasting it.

hard to find. cab driver had never heard of the place. make sure you show up early, as the older gentleman was asleep when we arrived at 10pm. the room was very clean. If you are looking for a typical 'hostel like environment' this is not the spot. room is quaint but we had our own shower and bath.

Find more Horror and Comedy
When you think of horror comedies, do you default to movies? There's Young Frankenstein, Shaun of the Dead, Zombieland, Bubba Ho-Tep, Return of the Living Dead, the Scream series—I could go on. But there are some very good horror comedy novels, too. Here are a few you ought to check out.
Go, Mutants! (2010), by Larry Doyle, is a ripping good spoof of 1950s-style sf/horror movies. Aliens came to Earth, bent on world domination. Things didn't go exactly according to plan, and now it's a couple of decades later, and Jim, the teenage son of the would-be alien overlord, is just trying to make it through to adulthood. Think of your typical coming-of-age story, and, on top of that, layer the trappings of a '50s B-movie: a best friend who's a sentient gob of goo, a half man–half ape sidekick, a mad scientist, etc. Doyle does a very nice job of creating a world in which humans and aliens coexist (not always happily), and the book is full of references to fifties-era genre flicks.
Tom Holt, the British novelist, is best known for his comic novels based on mythology and fairy tales: Who's Afraid of Beowulf? (1988) and Snow White and the Seven Samurai (1999), among them. But he has written a couple of horror-comedy gems: Barking (2007), the story of a lawyer who gets mixed up with a bunch of werewolves and vampires, and Faust among Equals (2004), a very clever expansion of the classic story of the fella who sold his soul to the devil. Holt likes to take ordinary people (I'm using the word "people" extremely loosely here) and drop them into some pretty weird situations. Plenty of chuckles and more than a few guffaws.
If you like Tom Holt, then you're sure to like Christopher Moore. Practical Demonkeeping (1992) was his first novel, a very funny story about a man-eating demon, Catch, who's the servant and traveling companion of Travis, an immortal dude who'd really love to get rid of Catch and go back to being a regular human. It would be foolish to try to nail down which of Moore's books is his best, but I have a special fondness for Bloodsucking Fiends (1995), You Suck (2007), and Bite Me (2010), a trio of stories about a woman who's attacked by a vampire, falls in love with a mortal guy, and tries to deal with the fallout. While Holt uses wordplay and bizarre situations to generate humor, Moore's comedy is more character-based but just as funny.
A. Lee Martinez, who hails from Texas, debuted with Gil's All Fright Diner(2005), which tells the story of a small-town diner where a werewolf and a vampire stop by for a snack, only to discover the place is under attack by—what else?—zombies. In A Nameless Witch (2007), a witch teams up with a motley crew—a troll, a duck, a gallant White Knight—to get revenge on the villain who killed her mentor. Monster (2009) features a couple of people (again, I'm using the word people really loosely) who are forced to put aside their own differences to save the universe. Gil's All Fright Diner won an Alex Award, and you won't need more than one or two pages to see why: the opening dialogue between Duke and Earl (the werewolf and vampire, respectively) crackles with wit.
David Wong, a Cracked.com writer and editor (real name: Jason Pargin), made a strong debut with John Dies at the End (2007), a story about a couple of buddies, John and Dave, who get mixed up with an evil force that keeps wreaking havoc in their slacker lives. The book was made into a film by Bubba Ho-Tep director Don Coscarelli, and there's a sequel, This Book Is Full of Spiders (2012), that's just as funny. Its broad humor, deliberately larger than life, and Wong's skills in creating characters and knowing just when to drop in a punch line make it a lot of fun.
Apocalypse Cow (2013), by Scotland's Michael Logan, is the very funny story of a scientific experiment that goes horribly awry and unleashes zombified animals on the country. A group of survivors—most of whom would never have chosen to spend even a minute in one another's company—team up to fight for survival. The book was a cowinner of the first Terry Pratchett Anywhere But Here, Anywhen But Now First Novel Award and deservedly so: it is, all at once, a smartly constructed zombie story and a very funny spoof of zombie stories. It can't be easy writing a funny book about something without it feeling like you're making fun of your subject, but Logan sure makes it look easy.
Before 2009, almost no one had heard of Quirk Books. Founded in 2002, this small independent publishing house became a familiar name with the publication of Seth Grahame-Smith's Pride and Prejudice and Zombies (2009), which, if it isn't the first mash-up, appears to have been the first novel to be called a mash-up. Smith-Grahame simply took the text of Pride and Prejudice and spliced in some zombies, leaving much of Jane Austen's original prose alone and rather seamlessly working in his own writing, creating in the process a sort of alternate-reality in which Austen's characters are living in a zombie apocalypse. It's a brilliant book, and it was followed by scads of imitators, from Quirk and from other publishers (Sense and Sensibility and Sea Monsters, 2009; Android Karenina, 2010; and on and on), none of which are as good. The book is funny even if you're not familiar with the Austen novel, but it's doubly funny if you are.
David Pitt is a regular Booklist and Booklist Online contributor.

Senator John McCain seeks Foreign Relations Committee seat
Sen. John McCain is seeking a slot on the Foreign Relations Committee next year and could be in place to grill United Nations Ambassador Susan Rice at her confirmation hearing if President Obama nominates her to be secretary of state.
The Arizona Republican is one of Rice's harshest critics. He has suggested the U.N. ambassador tried to cover up the terrorist attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya - which killed four Americans including Ambassador Christopher Stevens - as a means to help the president win re-election.
McCain's spokesman Brian Rogers said the veteran senator is seeking a slot on the international affairs panel, which has oversight of the State Department. Many Republicans have suggested her confirmation process would serve as a high profile de facto examination of the administration's handling of the Benghazi tragedy and its aftermath.
If Rice doesn't get the nod, the current chair of the Foreign Relations Committee, Sen. John Kerry, D-Massachusetts, is another likely choice. McCain and other GOP critics of Rice have said Kerry would be a better pick and could sail through confirmation.
McCain's six-year stint as the ranking Republican on the Armed Services Committee is term-limited and coming to an end. He could have pushed to become the top Republican on Foreign Relations but has decided not to challenge Sen. Bob Corker of Tennessee for that slot, Rogers said.
Committee assignments are not formalized until January.
